Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause discoloration
on other fabric but also on your sewing machine. This discoloring
may be very difficult or impossible to remove.
Fleece and denim fabric, especially red and blue, often contain a lot
of excess dye.
If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains
a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash it before sewing to avoid the
discoloring.

In order to sew using the free arm, swing the accessory tray to the left
and lift it up out of the hole.
When replacing the accessory tray, insert the pin into the hole and
swing the tray to the right to close until it is flush with the free arm of
the sewing machine.
Carrying case
Use the hard carrying case to protect your machine when transporting
it. The machine’s integrated handle can be accessed through a slot in
the top back of the case. There is a convenient storage compartment to
hold the lead cord, foot control and instruction book.
1:18
Accessory tray
Open the accessory tray by placing your left index finger on the ridged
area to the left side of the lid and pull it towards you.
Arranging the accessories
The standard accessory feet are marked with numbers. Arrange the
feet in the respective numbered compartments of the accessory tray.
Put the remaining accessories in the open spots like the picture to the
right shows.
Preparations
2:2
Voltage switch
220V - 240V / 120V
The sewing machine is set to the voltage 220 V - 240 V. To change the
voltage to 120 V (US/Canada), you must set the voltage switch on the
underside of the machine to 120 V.
If you are unsure of the correct voltage for your country, please check
with your authorized Pfaff dealer before plugging in your machine.
On/off switch
When the on/off switch is switched on (switch function I) the sewing
lightbulb lights up and the welcome screen appears on the touch
screen.
The sewing machine is now ready to function.
”0” = OFF
”I” = ON
Connecting the foot control
Connect the plug of the foot control to the connection socket of the
sewing machine.
The sewing speed is controlled by pressing the foot control.
The foot control type AT 0070 must be used for this sewing machine.
Electrical connection
Connect the lead cord between the socket of the sewing machine and
the wall outlet.
For the USA and Canada:
This sewing machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT modify the plug in any way!
2:3
Preparations
Changing the presser foot
Turn off the on/off switch
Snap off the presser foot
Press the front part of the presser foot up and, at the same time the rear
part down until it disengages from the presser foot holder.
Presser foot lift
The presser foot is raised manually by swinging the presser foot lift up
to the right. It is lowered by swinging it down to the left. See page 3:9
on how to raise and lower your presser foot automatically.
Check that the presser foot is properly attached by raising the presser
foot lift.
Snap on the presser foot
Place the presser foot under the presser foot holder, so that when the
presser foot lift is lowered the pins of the foot snap onto the presser
foot holder.
2:4
The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed)
For sewing any fabric precisely Pfaff provides the ideal solution: the
Integrated Dual Feed, IDT system.
As on industrial machines, the IDT feeds the fabric from the top and
bottom at the same time at the same stitch length. The fabric is fed
precisely.
On light fabrics such as silk or rayon the dual feed prevents puckering
of the seam.
The even feeding action also ensures perfect matching of checked and
striped fabrics. The IDT keeps all layers of quilt projects aligned to
prevent stretching of the top layers.
Disengaging the IDT
Raise the presser foot. Hold the IDT with two fingers on either side
of the black ribbed elbow. Press the IDT down, then release it slowly
guiding it back and up away from you.
Engaging the IDT
Raise the presser foot. Press the IDT down until it engages.
Important: For all work with the Integrated Dual Feed IDT, use
presser feet with the center back cut-out.

Preparations
Lowering the feed dogs
For certain sewing work such as free-motion quilting, embroidery or
darning, the feed dogs must be lowered. On your sewing machine
there are two different methods for lowering the feed dogs, one on the
outside of the machine and one inside the bobbin door.
For either method:
Raise the presser foot before lowering the feed dogs. Push slide A or B
to the left.
To bring the feed dogs back up move the slide to the right.

white pin of the bobbin winder. The Pfaff logo is facing up.
Push the bobbin to the right.
Note: The bobbin can only be wound if it is moved fully to the
right.
Winding the bobbin from the spool pin
Place the sewing thread on the spool
pin. Slide a spool cap firmly against the

with the small white pin of the bobbin
winder. The Pfaff logo is facing up.
Wind the thread tail clockwise several
times around the bobbin. Turn on the
machine. Hold the thread tail firmly and
press the foot control.
As soon as the bobbin is full the winding
action will be stopped automatically.
Push the bobbin to the left, cut the thread
and remove the bobbin from the winder.

Release the threader and pull the rest of the thread end through the
needle eye.
Threader hook F swivels through the needle eye. Bring the thread
around hook E and back across the front of the needle eye. Hold the
end of the thread taut and slide it up to catch the threader hook F.
2:12
Bringing up the bobbin thread
Raise the presser foot. While holding the end of the needle thread,
press the foot control so the needle moves down and up one time.
Pull the needle thread to draw up the bobbin thread.
